White · Light · Dry

California's take — riper than Sancerre, calmer than Marlborough, with grapefruit, melon, and a clean mineral finish. The everyday white that pairs with almost anything green or briny.

Why it works with Crunchy Chicken Salad

A lean, citrusy white like American Sauvignon Blanc keeps Crunchy Chicken Salad feeling fresh.

Beaujolais

Classic

Red · Light · Dry

Gamay-based reds from southern Burgundy — light, fruity, food-friendly. The serious Cru bottlings (Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent) drink like Pinot Noir at half the price.

Beaujolais's soft tannins and bright fruit are perfectly scaled to Crunchy Chicken Salad With Shiitake Mushrooms, Spicy Sesame Dressing And Peanuts.

White · Medium · Dry

Chardonnay grown on Burgundy's chalkiest soils, almost never oaked. Lean, steely, oyster-shell minerality; a wine that tastes like a place. The wine for shellfish, full stop.

Why it works with Crunchy Chicken Salad

A medium white like French Chablis matches Crunchy Chicken Salad's weight — neither too lean nor too plush.

Burgundy's most generous white — rich, buttery, full of stone fruit and toasted nut. The Chardonnay you reach for when Chablis feels too austere.
